Travel and Photography | Sunrise in Sarangkot | Pokhara Nepal
© 2013 Wazari Wazir | Sunrise in Sarangkot | Pokhara Nepal “The most important lessons in life can never be expressed in black and white, but must be experienced.

But the truth is that the most important things in life are very hard to put in black and white, including what I’ve said in this post. When most of the world’s information is at our fingertips, a mouseclick away, it makes it feel like we don’t need to experience any more. Movies, books, or “living vicariously through someone else” means we…
